EDITORS WINED AND DINED.
What the Northwestern Editors Saw and
Did About the Exposition
Yesterday.


building was stormed and taken posses
sion of by the mighty minds which drive
the pencil and mold public opinion. The
editors came from the Northern regions
of Manitoba and from the rural district
of AnOka-the typical Chicago journalist
discussed live questions with the Dakota
members of the prOfeSSiOn-and Wis
consin, Minnesota and Iowa were well
represented by a number of the editorial
writer's of these different states. There
were rOtund, pOmpOus-lOoking editors
there were thin, hungry-lOOking editors
in fact it is to be feared this latter
class were the most numerous. There
were long, lanky editOrs-and there
were short, Stumpy-lOOking editors
indeed there were newspaper men of
high and low degree, and every class
and condition We're represented, and
they all went in with a glorious energy
that is to the manner born with them,
to see what is to be seen, and thor
Oughly enjoy themselves. Some of the
traits of this class cropped out in great
shape yesterday, and their appreciation
of everything pretty, and good was I'M
mense. They
OGLED THE PRETTY GIRLS
in ScandalOuS manner-they APP
| top of their bent-they viewed the
pictures in the art gallery with that
critical acumen that only can be found
in the ''profeSh,'' and one member, who
turned out be the mOrgue reporter OH
a Prohibition weekly in Iowa, slyIy
announced at headquarters he would
like to take hand in a little game of
whisky poker to pass the time away.
With that warm appreciation for the
care of the stomach that newspaper
men from time immemOrial have ever
shown, the banquet that was held at 10
o'clock created a look of eXpec-
fancy and delight on their faces
that was pleasure to behold all day.
Slater Thompson, of the staff of the
| Chicago Daily News, who was the orator
of the evening, arrived in town in the
morning. He was met at the depot by a
committee of newspaper men, headed
by Col. Charles w. Johnson, and escorted
to the West hotel for rest. Suisse
quently he drove to the Exposition, re-
ceiving a very cordial reception at the
press headquarters.
THE NEWSPAPER MEN
expressed themselves one and all highly
pleased with everything they saw, and
especially with the greeting that was
accorded to them all by genial Frank
Mead, who. by the way, took an off day
yesterday to meet his numer-
Gus friends without having business
interfere. Mr.. Fisher, of St.Paul, who is
the Oldest man on the press in the state,
was present and held levee in the
afternoon, when the audience was
quite large, listening to his pleasant
Renaissance of early days. The art
gallery seemed the department that at
tracted the majority and among the pic
hot nj fhnr
that tender and melancholy piece of art
work No. 149. :'When the Flowing Tide
Comes H." by j. G. Brown. This pic
ture is striking example of all the
sadness and pathOS of life. 1t is not
gentle, ripping tide, breathing
of calm and pleasant seas, but
it is the water rushing in
madly moaning hoarsely to the despair
ing girl who sits upon the fishers bas-
ket on the sand that tells the tale of
shipwreck and of dear ones lost in the
cruel waves. In her eye is the calm,
fearless look of the despair that
| hands is the determination to
try and conquer fate and be resigned to
what has been ordained. The artistic
qualities are fully in unison with the;
beauty of the subject; the figure of the
girl with its easy pose, the feeling that
the wind is actually blowing back her
treSSes is
FINELY WORKED OUT,
and in all respects ''When the Flowing
Tide Comes In' is deserving richly of
all the praise that was bestowed upon it
yesterday. No. 3S2. in the Scandinavian
collection, entitled Fox and Dogs" is a
striking work from the studio of b. Lii
Jefors. Its speciality is its transpar-
encV effect i'm the maze where the dOuS
and the fox are all entangled;
such effects in delineating
nature as it is in the fields and stubble
grounds, are never produced unless by
such mastery hand as wrought this
wonderful conception. No. 403, "June
Day in Danish Beech Forest" by
G. f. Aagaard. is remarkable
for its wealth of coloring and
wonderful feeling of shadows
cast here and there. The mass of yell
low foliage is splendidly worked in this
landscape. The water of the pool is i'll
itself gem, and the looseness of the
thick foliage and the sense of seeming
to look beyond at the further scenes in
ticularly noticeable features in
the artistic work in this
picture. No. 400, evil He Clear the
POint?" Michael Anchor, elected uni
versal admiration from the intense
earnestness and naturalneSs on the faces
of the sailors OIL the pier, in their heavy
tarpaulins, who are looking out to sea,
wondering if the incoming fishing
smack will clear the point or not. These
are just few of the many beautiful
examples of art that delighted the news
paper men who visited the AIT gallery
yesterday.
